Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, lady and gentlemen, for appearing before us. I appreciate the opportunity.
Let me ask a question or two of Mr. Rees to begin. Would it surprise you, Mr. Rees, to know that cottage owners regularly contact DFO when they want to build a dock or repair a retaining wall or to in fact express to their members of Parliament, in some cases, their thoughts on the lack of clarity at times regarding the indiscriminate approaches that DFO takes to these things?
